West Virginia took another step closer to addressing some of the immediate needs on the defensive side of the ball when the Mountaineer staff received a commitment from a junior college defensive back that visited over the weekend.

Fulton (Miss.) Itawamba C.C. safety Terrell Pinson originally selected Mississippi State as a walk-on but academics forced him to pursue the junior college route to become eligible.

"I was going to Mississippi State as a wide receiver, out of high school. I wasn't able to qualify so MSU sent me to ICC [Itawamba Community College," said Pinson.
